Ill be the first to share some random knowledge! Voltage Regulator? 

[DmanYo]

Can get these for Less than $2 each in bulk. Share with friends. Use extra for DIY generators? Any reason why you shouldnt use an overpowered version of smaller units? so far they have worked for me! Automobile Alternator stops charging? you could spend $100s to replace, or wire up 1 of your handy dandy Voltage Regulators! Im not selling, just trading valuable information. 

YOUR TURN! Show your uses! Brag about your Failed installations also! We all learn something

I need a wire Diagram. I could keep searching and find for no work. Or ill throw a few Frugal ideas around in exchange.

The best part about taking 10x longer to fix? is not the $ saved. Its the knowledge Learned.

Those bridge rectifiers don't regulate voltage..

Just a small problem.  Those bridge rectifiers would not work to rectify and regulate the output  of a quad's stator.  You would need 3 of them  just to rectify the output of the stator.  Then  you need circuity to smooth those voltage pulses from the  3 phases, and a regulator chip to limit that voltage to between 13.2 to 14.6 to actually  charge the battery.  There's a lot more circuitry inside that little rectifier/regulator  box than you  realize.
